Who are we kidding? Having lunch with the director of corrections is hardly seeing how things are done. In the company of a warden, asst. warden, plus not to mention all of the assistants plus their assistants. I will bet they gave him the tour of tours. This is nothing but a HEADLINE grabbing JOKE!!!! If He really wanted to 'See How Things Run" he would take this message to the foot soldiers not managers. I thought NERDS were smart??? I wonder if they toured all of the vacant areas that the GOP has in mind for the contractors and consultants they have lined up?? What about all of the wasted Taxpayer surplus? Remember the camp they cleaned up? Like I said JOKE!!!!! I'm betting nothing will change. Managment says Everthing is great and would be even better if we can close more prisons and pay more to have an out of state contractor with plenty of lobbyist and poilitical ties cdome to the rescue. IDIOTS.

Lansing covered? The only reporter I would send to Lansing is Charlie Leduff. Why? Because he tells it how it is regardless of what side of the fence your on. TRUTH is there is so much waste that NO ONE and I meen NO ONE will cover the waste of taxpayer dollars in all departments. Not even the Nerd can do anything about it. As I was once told the "MACHINE" is TOOOO BIG. Reporters are like pac funds. They will not bite the hand that feeds them.

This is laughable. Re elect Poleski HA HA. Easily accesable and listens. The only costituents he represents are the ones who's agenda he's pushing and PAC fund donors. Same ol politician. When re elected he will no longer be a freshman he will be pac fund, lobbyist LACKEY. He could care less what we "The Constituents" want or need.

4 Post and all negative. UNREAL!!! Of the 4 of you what have you brought other than negativaty? What do you have to offer? Keep on Keepin on Tim. Jackson has become supportive of Rockapalooza and the mojority of us support it and you too.

I think they should rent it for extra revenue. A tour of the empty, deserted downtown sure is on my to do list. At least that could recover the cost of the electricity they want us to cut down on. It could buy a few more cameras they desperatly need. Public works could also fill some pot holes they drive past everyday. Oops I forgot only managers figure out how things get done. Do we have any????

Slice; "people that cannot afford to feed their families"? Why do they own a dog then? It has to eat too. I guess they can feed it left over pizza now that Cottage Inn advertises they take the Bridge Card. It is so sad to have you say abuse of power. Follow the rules it's that simple. Big Brother is not my favorite either and I thumb my nose at the "MAN" often. Age teaches us to have limits and wisdom teaches us what's worth fighting for. People always have to complain about something. Suck it up.

Once again I am not "SURPRISED" The second post for something good is negative. This is a positive. Jackson is its own worst enemy. Let me ask you this? WHY DOES JACKSON HATE ITSELF SO MUCH? The complainers can't wait to line up. I don't support most of the down town activities because that is not what my family is into. Then when there is an "EVENT" The city or county controlling interest pulls the plug. Why? I was looking forward to the "EVENT" at the city owned and controlled Ampitheatre and found out they pulled the plug at the last minute. Why? And they "THE CONTROLLING INTEREST" wonder why people don't want to come here. I will take my money elsewhere where I not only am welcome but embraced by a community thats engaged in all expanding things to do to keep people in their hometown.

When are the citizens going to get a clue? I have lived my whole life here and all I hear is there is nothing to do. Guess what? this was the "BEST THING" that has happened here in a long time. No suprise people are complaining they don't have anything else to do. I for one was there. It was a great time. We need to support things like this. I was on board from day 1. As far as the fairground great venue. Residents; It was 1 night get over it. Funny how when the city has great things going it gets ruined. They don't have a clue. Does anyone have the percentage of complaints versus the attendance? I would like to see those figures. Not to mention there were no arrest or trouble of any kind that I am aware of. It was a great show with a great bands that even the "Fair Board" wouldn't bring here. Wake up Jackson move forward or get left behind.

Mr. Lieder retiring? Good for you. The Class of 2010 was not or is the only class that was impressed or influenced by you. There are so many of us you have touched over the years. The class of 88 remembers you well. Enjoy your retirement as you have earned it.

The MAYOR was upset?????? What is the price of puting a fire out in 2 min versus 8? In these times when things are tough all over maybee they should take the cost of the employee the truck and his benefits to water flowers downtown and move those funds to the fire dept. I would much rather have the fire at my house put out than have it wasted on things like flowers and trees etc. It is time for fiscal responsibility. We the residents should be upset and the mayor should find a way to fund and staff a service that we cannot aford to go without. flowers die my life is worth more than a flat of flowers.
